The theme of feminine perception and self-perception has been a central focus of her work since 1993. Since then, Vanessa Beecroft has presented her predominantly nude models, who are permitted neither to speak nor to move appreciably, in more than fifty cities around the world. The contemplative silence of the protagonists in her performances, photographs, and videos evokes an impression of ritual.\u003cBR\u003eThis publication presents a retrospective survey of Vanessa Beecroft's work compiled in collaboration with the artist: photographs, videos, and a large group of previously unpublished drawings devoted to the female body and the theme of loneliness. These highly appealing works feature single figures or parts of bodies, with spindly legs, crooked arms, and small, sometimes childlike heads. Fragile and alone, they float in pictorial space - lasciviously on occasion, but more often with a subtle eroticism. \u003c\/SPAN\u003e(German edition ISBN 978-3-7757-1507-2)\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003eExhibition schedule: Kunsthalle Bielefeld, May 9–August 22, 2004\u003c\/P\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49811839254792,"sku":"9783775715089","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775715089_93ffc45e-4fc5-4f16-97ec-773e4f016763.jpg?v=1744144176","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/15296-vanessa-beecroft","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
